Melbourne antipasto manufacturer Pronto e Fresco entered into voluntary administration last Wednesday after more than 15 years in business.

It is unclear at this stage why the business went into administration.

The company is one of Australia’s largest producer of antipasto foods including olives, semi-dried tomatoes and grilled vegetables. It wholesales to Australian supermarkets, caterers, hospitals, universities, restaurants and hotels.

The Pronto e Fresco website says it exports to New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand, Korea, Japan and the United Arab Emirates.
